What mass of CO2 is produced when 0.75g of CO reacts according to the following reaction?
2CO+O2=>2CO2
To calculate the mass of CO2 produced when 0.75g of CO reacts, we first need to determine the molar mass of CO2.
Molar mass of CO = 28.01 g/mol
Molar mass of O2 = 32.00 g/mol
Molar mass of CO2 = 28.01 g/mol + 2(16.00 g/mol) = 44.01 g/mol
Now, let's calculate the number of moles of CO:
0.75g / 28.01 g/mol = 0.0268 mol
According to the balanced reaction, 2 moles of CO react to form 2 moles of CO2. Therefore, the molar ratio of CO to CO2 is 2:2.
Now, let's calculate the mass of CO2 produced:
0.0268 mol of CO x (44.01 g/mol of CO2 / 2 mol of CO) = 0.5929 g
Therefore, 0.75g of CO produces 0.5929g of CO2 when it reacts.
